Stripes on pants?

I was just wondering if your company's pants have stripes on them. If so, what color and width are the stripes?

Nope, no stripes on my pants. Just a pair of good ole fashioned BDUs.

Heck no! Plain black uniform pants. Obviously, no stripes on BDU trousers.

Be Safe,

In our state stripes are an unwritten rule that depend where you are working. In Boston city limits red is for SPO and blue is full officers. When we do a take back of an account in the city some of our guys wore blue stripes an were informed by a BPD Lt that the next time he better not see any blue stripes from the non academy certified guys on the team. Some of our guys come from a day shift in the suburbs where blue is not a concern of the local PD. A full officer on our team said the LT is FOS and there is no law or by law that addresses the stripe issue. As there is also no rules on collar brass which we do not wear.

Dress uniform with one company was ink blue dress trousers with a 1/4" band down the side - looked bloody stupid as I only wore mine a few times. To me it speaks of a County Mounty with the Dukes of Hazzard Music playing in the background.

The uniforms that I currently issue consist of a navy blue polo shirt with the patches sewn on along with the new Dickies cargo pants. I will however issue class "A" uniforms which consist of a French Heather Blue shirt with dark navy pants w/ matching FHB stripe. Those will be issued if the client wants a more traditional uniform appearance.

Yes we wear reflective stripes on our pants and jackets. I am a firm believer that being see equals being safe. However if you are in a tactical role it is the opposite.

As far as High visibility goes, I now swear by the neon green with retro reflective silver striping.

Aside from that the rest of our uniforms are navy blue with silver stripe in pants.

Black pants and 1/2 inch blue stripe here. Actually really like the current uniform. My old uniform was a white shirt/ grey pants with a black stripe/ and yellow blazer . Current company doesn't even require name tags. I'm lovin it.

You know, I actually read somewhere (I think it was Security Management) that the reason guard firms put stripes on the pants is to prevent the guards from wearing the pants as civilian attire.

The fact that someone would come up with this, enough to actually pen it to words, frightens me.

I have never heard that before! But if indeed it's true, you're right Nathan.

That's actually interesting that you mention this.... I was talking with my dad one day. I mentioned that, I liked his trench coat (he runs security for Marriott HQ), and he told me how they were going to start putting the Marriott name on their suits, etc. Some of the employees would wear their company issued suits on personal time attending nightclubs.
